TableMountain in Cape Town will be officially inaugurated today, after being named one of the
provisional New seven Wonders of Nature in the world.

Hundreds of
people voted for the mountain to be the finalist. South African tourism has
received a welcome boost with the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway recording a
marked rise in visitor numbers.

Manager of TableMountainNational Park, Paddy Gordon, said
there is a lot of excitement in Cape Town and from other
wonder site.

We are really, really excited to get to
this point where we inaugurate TableMountain finally as one of
the new seven wonders.

They have to manage quite a strong management
plan to integrate the use of the city for recreation for additional visitors
and to obviously to protect the environment.

So they
are ready they have sites that are geared and designed to
receive quite a large number of visitors and they are waiting for them.
